LASIK Surgery In Jabalpur

LASIK eye surgery provides a path to clear vision at any age. You can achieve freedom from glasses, contact lenses and endless prescriptions with a procedure that permanently improves the vision. LASIK is a surgical procedure intended to reduce a person’s dependency on glasses or contact lenses. LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, using an excimer laser. A mechanical microkeratome (a blade device) which we use in Roshan Netralaya Eye Hospital Jabalpur or a laser keratome, currently we are not using this in Roshan Netralaya Eye Hospital Jabalpur, (a laser device) is used to cut a flap in the cornea. A hinge is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded back revealing the stroma, the middle section of the cornea. Pulses from a computer-controlled laser vaporize a portion of the stroma and the flap is replaced. There are other techniques and many new terms related to LASIK that you may hear about.

LASIK in Jabalpur– Choose the Right Procedure for Laser Eye Surgery

When glasses or contact lenses become a trouble in your life, LASIK surgery offers an alternative that can give you a clear vision again. The innovative technology treats the most common types of refractive errors that you may know as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. Changes in the structure of your eye that alter your vision may relate to age or to coping with the challenges that result from the way that you use your eyes. LASIK surgery offers a highly successful approach to permanently improving your vision without ever having to use glasses or contact lenses ever again.

The surgeon makes a small ,hinged flap in the cornea and folds it back. Then a laser reshapes the cornea, which is located at the front of the eye. This improves the way the eye focuses light rays onto the retina,at the back of the eye,allowing for better vision.

Our aim is to make patient free from eye glasses but in spite of doing our best and taken all predictable objectives, we still cannot predict wound healing. It sometimes can heal leaving behind a small number. Success rates vary from patient to patient.

As we age, the lens of the eye becomes more rigid and does not flex easily. As a result, for most people aged 40 and onwards it becomes more difficult to read close distance or in low light. It may be possible that you are suffering from presbiopia. If you are undergoing LASIK over the age of 40 and are interested in correcting your presbiopia, there are two options available for treatment-

  • Monovision- this technique corrects your vision to allow for near and intermediate vision in one eye and distance vision in the other eye.
    •  
  • Zen Vision – it is a unique , clinically proven laser procedure designed to help patients see objects close up again while maintaining your distance vision. Zen Vision treats one or both eyes and provides good vision at all distances( near, intermediate, far)

The surgery usually takes place for 10-20 mins but the patient need to stay for 4-5 hours in total as the discharge is done after sometime of the surgery.

Lasik is typically a bilateral procedure, meaning it is performed on both eyes during the same surgical session. It is very safe and procedure takes only about 10 min per eye.
